In Action Against Hunger’s base in Helmand, Afghanistan, there was a gap in knowledge amongst some of the staff members on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and the integration between this sector and the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector. Dawood developed two standardised presentations that can be used to train staff on these subjects at any time, in a consistent manner.
